Mountain Retreat
We had a wonderful experience staying at this location. It was located within a nice quite community very close to Western Carolina University. Plenty of parking and plenty space for everyone to spread out. I would rent the house again when visiting our son at Western Carolina.
For our annual girls' weekend, it was perfect. We each had a bedroom. Nice, open area to relax for meals and tv. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and conveniently located between Dillsboro, Sylva, Waynesville, etc for shopping. Also, not up on the mtn peak for an easy drive.
This house did a 100 things right, but missing some key items that one would expect in renting a house vs hotel room. The problems may be due to possibly being a newer rental. The bedrooms could have had places to set luggage instead of living out of a suitcase on the floor.
